MTA Car Jumps Rail At Harvard Station

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The first car of an empty four-car MTA train was derailed at Harvard Square station yesterday morning, delaying an estimated 50,000 commuters. No one was hurt.

Eighty buses were called in to carry away the thousands of persons who jammed the Square. It took from 7:30 to 8:50 a.m. to clear the crowd.

An MTA spokesman said the derailment occured when the train went through a red light, setting off an automatic stopper which jolted the front car from the tracks. Workmen replaced the car on the tracks by mid-afternoon.
